I'd get a couple of 4 or 6" clip on fans instead, you will find yourself running out of room pretty quickly. Especially if you end up needing any of the following:
Heater
Humidifier
Dehumidifier
Or other equipment to control climate.

I also suggest that when you get everything to set it all up and see how the temperature and everything is and adjust it If need be,
Do that before you even think about germinating your seeds.
 
I would recommend to start with your list at the thrift shop save you a whole lot of Cash that you can spend on something else Every grower favorite place goodwill

This is also a good idea, I get a lot of my stuff second hand from classified ads.

I save a lot of money In fans alone If you want a fan for your girls your spending $30 for a good reliable small fan that dyes in mid grow fans humidifiers Clamp on light fixtures for your seedlings Space heaters you’ll be surprise of stuff you can find in there if you have time and some good smoke imagination is key

Yes, I said you made a good suggestion, I was just adding to it :p
 
If you're going to use AN nutes then you don't need the pH stuff. Use RO water and you can't go wrong.

PPM pen is handy and cheap. Get some calibration sol'n for it too and the pre-mixed is best. $30 should cover both.

Get the ProMix HP if you can. Good right out of the bale with AN and has all the perlite you need already.

In that small a tent 3 or 4 gal containers are plenty big enough.

I don't know shit about LED lights so hope it's a good one.

A bit of Big Bud come flowering time will do wonders but you can slip that in later. Get the powdered stuff as it keeps a lot longer.

Good luck!

:peace:

I found a great spot to download FREE POT BOOKS. I downloaded a grow bible first and got lots more. Books look great and complete like the real ones I have here. No web site but just a page of links. Just right click on what you want and then "Save Link As" to download so they don't open first as many are 50+ megs. They got lots. Enjoy.

:peace:

Liquid seaweed, plants love that stuff :)
 
If your gonna do some LST and/or SCROG you’ll want stuff to make a net that you and move vertically. And pipe cleaners
 
Red flag alert on that light kit - VERIFY it comes with a driver and heatsinks. There is no way you are going to get a meanwell driver and 240 watts of 301b chips for $105.

That driver alone is $80++.

It's deceiving because they show it in the video, but the kit contents don;'t seem to include it.

Seems like people swear by them. And I've read quite a few good reviews about kingbrites and their lights. They've sold over $800k+ worth of lights thus far so I'm hoping they're legit.

My other option is overprised HLG lights from the US or Rando amazon scam lights so I'm kind of limited.

I'm not knocking the boards. They have great specs. I'm just questioning the kit contents. The driver is the power supply. It converts ac to dc the boards use. Without it you just have some panels that don't emit light.

If they provide a driver that pushes those boards to 240 watts for $105, it's a huge deal.

Just a red flag to me. Look into it and if legit, no worries.

BTW, hlg is the thought leader on "quantum" boards. They pioneered them. They did the r&d, are getting agency approvals, and put the boards through certified tests. That drives up the cost.

You can run to china for knock offs, but don't dis the og's as over priced. tx.
 
If that price includes shipping, it's unbeatable.
Seems to me, I recall many Ali boarders only sourcing boards, because the driver shipping was killing the value....

Didn't mean to diss them. Sorry
